Intro

I've wanted to start a blog for a long time. The other night my husband actually took the first step of creating his own blog. Not to be outdone I thought to myself, “No way! If he can do it, I can do it, too!” A few clicks of the mouse and here we are. It's just that easy.

The title “Soak the Beans” came from a chore I do almost on a weekly basis, or sometimes just think about doing. Ever since I discovered that soaking beans is no big deal, I find that just remembering to soak the beans has become the biggest obstacle. When I forget to soak the beans we eat lentils or grilled cheese sandwiches. On those nights, I feel like a failure. I mean really, it's not that hard to soak a pound of dry beans, and I love beans.

So what can you expect to find in this blog? Good question. You can expect to find blog entries primarily about frugal living because we have a one-income household in these "hard economic times". You will also find entries that discuss raising a child with special needs, family dynamics, matters of faith, things that amuse me, things that annoy me. In short, you can expect to find blog entries about things I do or think about a least once a week. Welcome to Soak the Beans. Enjoy your stay.

About Me

I have two teenage boys (one with special needs), and two cats. This blog is about my thoughts on the Christian faith. It's also an outlet to post Scripture pictures that I've made in order to do something with all of the pictures on my camera.
